The Welch Allyn SureTemp Plus Model 690 and 692 thermometers are portable electronic
thermistor thermometers. Users can measure a patient's temperature in the oral, axillary, and
rectal body sites of adult, pediatric, and newborn patients.
Probe Cover Ejection Button
Probe
Recall Button
The thermometer consists of six main components: the instrument, the probe, the removable
probe well, the probe cover, the batteries, and the wall mount.
2.1.1 Instrument
The instrument includes a removable probe well and detachable probe.
2.1.2 Probe
The detachable probes are available in short (standard) or long cord versions and include a
mechanical probe cover ejection mechanism, which is triggered by the user through a simple
finger press. The probes are designed for easy exchange in the clinical environment.
The short (standard) coiled cord probe stretches to approximately 4' and has a retracted
length of approximately 10".
This unit has a removable probe well to allow for ease of cleaning and replacement. The blue
probe well is used with Oral and Axillary probes, and the red probe well is used with Rectal
probes.
The SureTemp Plus Thermometers must use the standard Welch Allyn thermistor probe
covers, Part No. 05031. The probe covers are compatible across all Welch Allyn thermistor-
based thermometers.
2.1.5 Batteries
The Model 690 and 692 thermometers use three standard alkaline AA batteries, which provide
longer life than standard AA batteries. No battery charging is available. The thermometer
display will indicate when the batteries need replacement.
The wall holder is easily secured to a wall. A locking mechanism with a removable key for
securing the instrument is standard on the Model 692 Thermometer and is available as an
option for the Model 690. Through the use of available long cord probes, the thermometer may
be used without removing it from the wall holder.
6 71221-0000 Rev. G
Features of the SureTemp Plus Thermometer models (690 and 692) are listed below.
To perform a reset:
1. Remove the batteries from the instrument to reset the internal microprocessor electronics.
Follow the battery removal instructions in the Preventive Maintenance section (page 14).
2. Remove the probe and the probe well from the instrument. Then, unplug the probe
connector by depressing the locking tab and pulling on the connector body. DO NOT pull
on the cord.
3. While watching the display, install the batteries per the instructions in the Preventive
Maintenance section (page 14) and observe the Power-On Self Test described below.
The Low Power mode allows the thermometer to conserve power when it is not in use.
The unit will automatically enter the Low Power mode following one of these conditions:
1. After a final predicted temperature has been taken, the probe has not been returned to the
well, and the displayed temperature has been on the screen for 30 seconds.
2. When the instrument is in Monitor mode and the probe tip is out of the patient temperature
range (80 F to 110 F) for a period greater than 5 minutes.
4. Whenever the probe is returned to the well and the probe is plugged into the thermometer.
6. Whenever the unit is in the Biotech mode and there are no button presses for 5 minutes.
The unit will exit Low Power mode when any button on the instrument is pushed or the probe
switch is activated. When the unit exits Low Power mode after the probe is removed from the
well, all LCD segments are displayed for approximately 2 seconds.
Predict mode operation is the rapid mode of temperature taking. This is the default mode and
is automatically selected when the probe is withdrawn from the probe well. This mode
provides the clinical user with predictive temperature capability for obtaining oral, rectal,
pediatric axillary (17 years and younger), and adult axillary (18 years and older) temperatures.
If the mode is changed from Predict mode to Monitor mode during normal operation, it will
change back to Predict mode when the probe is returned to the probe well.
1. Upon withdrawal of the probe from its storage well, every segment on the display is
illuminated. The display will then show ORAL, ADULT AXILLARY, PED AXILLARY or
RECTAL, depending on the probe and mode selected. It will also display C or F. In the
upper left hand corner the ID will be displayed if one has been set (Model 692 only), and in
the lower right hand corner the battery icon will be displayed. At the same time that the
mode is displayed, a short beep will sound.
2. To change between the Oral, Adult Axillary, and Pediatric Axillary modes, press and
release the Mode button. Observe that the display changes between ORAL, ADULT
AXILLARY, and PED AXILLARY when the Mode button is pressed and released.
3. When the correct mode has been selected load a probe cover and take a temperature.
Note: It is possible that the walking segments will start and stop several times before the
probe is inserted into the temperature site. This is acceptable and will not adversely
affect the temperature taken.
8 71221-0000 Rev. G
The Monitor mode provides continuous temperature monitoring capability. The recommended
wait time for a Monitor mode oral temperature and a Monitor mode rectal temperature is 3
minutes. The recommended wait time for a Monitor mode axillary temperature is 5 minutes.
The thermometer will automatically switch to Monitor mode under the following conditions:
1. If 60 seconds have passed since the thermometer was removed from the probe well.
3. If the thermometer is unable to predict an oral or axillary temperature after 20 seconds due
to improper technique or excessive probe movement.
In the normal Predict mode, with correct use, the patients oral temperature is displayed in
approximately 4 seconds. The instrument will beep to signal completion of the Predict mode
temperature cycle.
If the probe is left out of the storage well after completion of a Predict mode temperature, the
unit will shut down after 30 seconds and enter Low Power mode to conserve power. Replace
the probe in the storage well to prepare for the next temperature.
WARNING: Continuous monitoring for more than 3-5 minutes is not recommended
in any mode.
Place the instrument in Monitor mode by pressing and releasing the Mode button
after a predictive temperature is taken. This mode is indicated by an icon in the
upper section of the screen.
When the unit enters Monitor mode, by pressing the Mode button after a predictive
temperature is taken, it will emit two quick beeps. If the device enters Monitor mode for any of
the three reasons listed earlier in this section, one long beep will sound to indicate that the unit
has entered Monitor mode. The thermometer will not beep to indicate a final Monitor mode
temperature and Monitor mode temperatures will not be stored in memory.
Monitor mode is also useful in testing the accuracy of the combined probe/instrument system
when the probe is warmed to a known temperature, as with a Welch Allyn Model 9600 or
9600 Plus Calibration Tester or in a circulating water bath.
Note: The instrument will shut off automatically if the probe temperature remains below
26.7C (80.0F) or above 43.3 C (110.0 F) for more than 5 minutes.
Pulse Timer mode is activated from Low Power or Recall mode by pressing the Pulse Timer
button. The display will then count up in seconds, and the unit will emit an audio beep at 0, 15,
30, 45 and 60 seconds. Pulse Timer mode terminates automatically after 60 seconds. The
thermometer then returns to Low Power mode. The Pulse Timer can be stopped at any time
during the 0-60 count by pressing the Pulse Timer button a second time. Pressing the Recall
button, connecting a probe, or removing the probe from the probe well will also terminate the
pulse timer.
2.3.8 Horn
The horn is a miniature piezoelectric speaker which produces the audible tones that signal
significant warning events to the user. The following audible signals will be played by the
thermometer.
10 71221-0000 Rev. G
The temperature switches to F or C scale by pressing and releasing the C/F button. The
default temperature scale can be set to F or C in the biotech mode. A temperature must be
displayed on the screen to switch between F and C.
Whenever the instrument is in Low Power or Pulse Timer mode, pressing and releasing the
Recall button on the front panel will cause the most recently predicted temperature to display
for 5 seconds. The unit will then automatically go into Low Power mode.
Pulling the probe from the well in Recall mode will start a predict cycle. To enter Biotech
mode, hold the Recall button down and then pull the probe from the well. Model 692 units
must be in the wall holder to enter Biotech mode.
Pressing the Pulse Timer button on the Model 692 thermometer will interrupt the temperature
recall function.
Note: No Monitor mode temperatures are saved for recall. When a temperature is recalled,
the mode in which it was obtained (Oral, Adult Axillary, Pediatric Axillary, or Rectal) is
displayed, regardless of the current mode the thermometer is in.
This mode is used to set and check special features of the thermometer listed in Table 2-1. All
Biotech mode settings are saved so they are not lost when the batteries are replaced.
2. Press and hold the Recall button, while removing the probe from the probe well. Once the
probe is removed, release the Recall button.
3. Press and release the Recall button to move sequentially through the various program
categories. Changes within each category are made by pressing and releasing either the
Mode Selection or C/F button.
4. The Biotech mode control settings are stored in nonvolatile memory so that they are not
lost when the batteries are changed. The Biotech mode will automatically time out after 5
minutes of inactivity.
5. Replacing the probe into the probe well at any time will exit the Biotech mode and return
the unit to normal operation.
To set this security feature, press and release the Mode Selection button or C/F
button to select ON (activated) or OFF (deactivated). This setting is retained in
non-volatile memory when the batteries are replaced.
BATTERY This setting displays the current battery voltage with 10 mV resolution. The battery is
considered acceptable if it measures higher than 3.4 volts. A new battery should
produce 4.5 volts or more.
COUNTER This setting displays the number of predictive temperature measurements that have
Predictive Temperature been completed (in 100's).
Counter
ERROR LOG This setting displays the last 10 saved error messages in a last-in, first-viewed
sequence. This is helpful when discussing operation with Welch Allyn Customer
Care. If there are no error messages, the display shows EMPTY LOG.
CLEAR LOG This setting appears if the thermometer has logged any error messages. Press and
release the Mode Selection button to select YES to clear the error log or NO to keep
the entries in the log.
12 71221-0000 Rev. G
Security options include two different electrical security options that alarms after a user
designated number of temperatures is reached or when the unit is removed from the wall
holder (Model 692 only). A mechanical security option is also available to prevent removal of
the unit from the wall mount or mobile stand without a special tool. The design of the
SureTemp Plus Thermometers allows a facility to apply magnetic or RF security tags to the
unit without adversely affecting the units performance or functionality.
The SureTemp Plus Model 692 Thermometer has two distinct anti-theft systems available
that are user selectable. Both systems require the use of a holder system with the
thermometer. This setting will be retained in non-volatile memory when the batteries are
replaced.
The Temperature Count security feature allows you to take a set number of temperature
readings before the instrument goes into the security alarm state. The selectable counts are
25, 50, 100, and 200. As the instrument nears the final reading, it will display SECURITY
COUNT as a warning, along with a number representing the last 5 temperature counts (i.e.,
5,4,3,2,1) remaining on the security counter.
When the instrument enters the alarm state, it beeps for approximately 10 seconds. At this
time, the instrument displays SEC on the LCD along with SECURITY COUNT in the ID field in
the upper left-hand corner of the screen. The instrument is then disabled. Returning the
instrument to the wall holder resets the security count. If the count is set to OFF, the
temperature count function is disabled and no security alarm will occur.
When the Instant-On security feature is activated, the instrument goes into the security alarm
state within five seconds after removal from the wall holder. When the instrument enters the
alarm state, it beeps continuously and displays SEC on the LCD. Pressing the Mode
Selection button while removing the probe from the probe well, within 30 seconds of the
instruments removal from the wall holder, clears the alarm and allows the instrument to
operate. Returning the instrument to the wall holder will reset the instant audio alarm.
The options for the Instant-On feature are ON and OFF. In the OFF setting, no security alarm
will sound.
Units that are in service on a regular basis should have the following preventive maintenance
performed every six months:
1. Visually inspect the thermometer for any physical damage that might cause future product
failure.
2. Clean the unit per instructions in the Operators Manual supplied with the thermometer
and/or per the instructions below.
3. Perform the Power-On Self Test and Model 9600 or 9600 Plus Calibration Testing
procedure found in the Model 9600 or 9600 Plus Operation Manual.
Units which are stored for an extended period should have the following maintenance
performed every 12 months:
2. Reinstall the batteries and perform the Power-On Self Test and Model 9600 or 9600 Plus
Calibration Testing procedure found in the Model 9600 or 9600 Plus Operation Manual
before use.
3.3 Cleaning
3.3.1 Cleaning the Thermometer and Probe
Wipe the thermometer regularly with a cloth dampened with warm water and a mild
detergent solution.
As needed, clean the thermometer and probe with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, a
10% chlorine bleach solution, or a non-staining disinfectant.
WARNING: DO NOT immerse or soak the thermometer or probe in any type of fluid.
WARNING: DO NOT use steam, heat or gas sterilization on the thermometer or probe.
DO NOT autoclave the thermometer or the probe.
Remove the probe well from the unit. Unplug the latching probe connector to prevent the
device from consuming battery power while you are cleaning the probe well.
Clean the inner surface of the probe well by swabbing the surface with a cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution or a 70% isopropyl alcohol, a 10% chlorine bleach solution,
or a non-staining disinfectant.
Clean the probe wells outer surface by swabbing or wiping the surface with one of the
solutions mentioned above.
14 71221-0000 Rev. G
WARNING: DO NOT use hard or sharp objects to clean the probe well. This could
damage the probe well and cause the unit to not function properly.
WARNING: DO NOT use steam, heat or gas sterilization on the thermometer or probe.
DO NOT autoclave the probe well.
1. Remove the box of probe covers from the probe cover storage compartment on the back
of the unit.
3. Press inward on the textured grips on each side of the assembly to remove the battery
door from the back of the unit.
4. Remove the three AA 1.5Vdc alkaline batteries and replace all three batteries with AA 1.5
Vdc alkaline batteries. Match the +/- polarity of each battery to the +/- symbols inside the
battery compartment.
WARNING: Use size AA 1.5 Vdc alkaline batteries only. Use of any other battery size or
type could damage the thermometer and cause personal injury.
Note: Remove the batteries, if the instrument is not used for an extended period of time, to
avoid possible damage to the thermometer due to battery leakage.
Whenever the clinical accuracy of the thermometer is in question, verify the instrument
calibration. Your hospital biomedical department should establish a routine schedule for
verifying instrument calibration. It is recommended the unit be tested semi-annually.
This method uses a fixed value to verify that the device is calibrated properly.
3. Wait one minute for the device to enter Monitor mode and display the temperature.
4. The temperature should read 36.3 +/- 0.1C or 97.3 +/- 0.2F.
This method is used to verify the calibration of the unit and probe pairing at two different
temperatures. Use a verified thermometer from the Cal-Key Verification (3.5.1) and a
functioning probe.
Caution: Store thermometers for testing in the same room as the 9600 Calibration Tester for
approximately 30 minutes prior to testing to allow for thermal accomodation.
16 71221-0000 Rev. G
This method is used to verify the calibration of the unit and probe at three set point
temperatures 36.0C (96.8F), 38.5C (101.3F), 41.0C (105.8F). Use a verified
thermometer from the Cal-Key Verification (3.5.1) and a functioning probe.
Caution: Store thermometers for testing in the same room as the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester
for approximately 30 minutes prior to testing to allow for thermal accomodation.
1. Plug in the Model 9600 Plus Calibration Tester wall transformer to electrical power.
2. The 36.0C (96.8F) temperature setting is selected when the calibration tester is first
powered on.
If the calibration tester is all ready powered on, change the temperature setting on the
Model 9600 Plus Calibration Tester to 36.0C (96.8F) with the up/down arrow key
(temperature will scroll through the 3 settings).
It is important to use the lower temperature setting first because the stabilization time from
high temperature to low temperature takes about twenty (20) minutes. Stabilization time
from a lower temperature to a higher temperature takes about six (6) minutes.
3. Wait for the displayed temperature to stop blinking. The actual temperature displayed
blinks until the set temperature has stabilized.
4. Remove the probe from the thermometer well and clean it with either a 70% isoprophyl
alcohol solution, a 10% chlorine bleach solution, or a non-staining disinfectant. Let the
probe air dry for at least five minutes. Do not apply a probe cover. Place the thermometer
in Monitor Mode. Refer to the thermometers Operators Manual.
5. Rotate the dust cover down so the Thermistor Device Port is open/available, leaving the
Ear Device Port covered, and insert the probe fully into the small hole on top of the Model
9600 Plus Calibration Tester.
6. Wait for approximately one minute or until temperature on the thermometer is stable for
ten seconds. Compare the thermometers temperature reading to the 9600 Plus
calibration set point temperature. If the temperatures are within + 0.1C (+ 0.2F), the
thermometer is within calibration.
7. Remove the probe from the probe well and place back into the thermometer probe well.
8. Test all available thermometers for calibration verification at the current calibration set
point temperature. Proceed to the next calibration set point temperature.
To scroll from one set point to the next, press and hold the temperature selection button
until a beep is heard. The newly selected set point appears in the upper left corner of the
LCD display. The devices current temperature is displayed, will start to flash, and continue
flashing until the cavity reaches the equilibrium at the new set point.
9. When done testing all thermometers at all temperature set points, close the dust cover on
the Model 9600 Plus Calibration Tester.
If the device accuracy is in question, refer to the Calibration section on page 16.
If the above two tests do not help or cannot be done, read through the following to help
diagnose the unit.
The probe or probe connector can generate errors. Probe errors are
displayed as a probe with an X through it and an error code in the
temperature field. In most cases this will represent a broken probe that
needs replacing and the code will tell what error was detected.
Temperature measuring is prohibited until the error is cleared.

The SureTemp Plus Model 690 and 692 are portable, battery powered thermistor-based
medical grade thermometers that perform oral, axillary, and rectal measurements using high-
speed prediction modes.
The devices perform a power-on self test (POST) when battery power is applied. POST
checks the internal hardware, and tests the stored calibration values to verify that the factory
calibration is intact. When a thermometer probe is connected, the device reads data from the
probe to determine the type of probe and probe calibration values. The thermometer will go
into Low Power mode when inactive to maximize battery life.
A predict measurement cycle is initiated when a connected thermometer probe is pulled from
the probe well of the device. When the probe is pulled from the probe well the optical probe
detection switch wakes up the microprocessor and a measurement cycle begins. The device
pre-heats the probe tip (Oral and Axillary only) to create a stable thermal environment at the
probe tip. When the tip is applied to the patient the tip heater is turned off. The thermistor value
is monitored by the microprocessor and other internal circuitry. The microprocessor uses
internal modes to process the thermistor data and calculate a patients temperature. The
temperature data is then displayed to the user on the LCD. It is also possible to switch the
thermometer to Monitor mode, which displays real-time data from the thermistor.
The Model 692 thermometer includes a backlit LCD for viewing in low ambient light conditions
and a security mode that disables device operation when used outside the programmed
security parameters.

Model 690 and 692 Thermometer probes are configured at the factory to be Oral/Axillary or
Rectal probe types.
The probe switch is an optical LED switch. It is arranged as an open circuit when the probe is
in the well, to save power. This causes a High-to-Low transition when the probe is pulled.
Power for the Model 690 and 692 is drawn from the three AA alkaline cells directly to the
circuit electronics, providing a peak voltage of 4.8V and an average voltage of 3.60 V. Under
normal use, battery life is expected to provide approximately 5,000 temperature
measurements for Model 692, and 6,000 temperature measurements for Model 690. This
number is based on a 22.2 C (72.0 F) ambient temperature, with the security features turned
off. Colder ambient temperatures, excessive security alarms, use of non-alkaline batteries,
and other usage patterns can reduce battery life. Instruments are shipped with fresh batteries,
but we cannot guarantee full life from the first set of batteries due to potential long storage
times between shipping and actual use. Battery life is also reduced by storage at elevated
temperatures.
The battery holder is interlocked to prevent reverse polarity. This is an important aspect of safe
operation of the unit.
Model 690 and 692 Thermometers use 20K thermistors, providing a resistance of
approximately 20 K at room temperature. At 37C (patient temperatures) they are near 12
K. The change in resistance is nonlinear with temperature and an equation describing this
curve is programmed into the thermometer.
* Predict time depends on probe placement and patient condition. Predict times do not include
tissue contact-detection time or time needed to place the probe into the measurement site.
